We’ve talked about the utility of suppressed bolt action pistols and have accepted the Charger as the closest approximation in .22LR but a bolt would have some advantages.
I wondered if SI could secure some actions from Ruger and put on a pistol-length, threaded barrel, a good trigger, a chassis with folding arm brace and make a uniquely handy tool.
I’d buy one in heartbeat.Ruger has a new precision .22 bolt action that takes 10/22 mags.

The photo is a Civil War sniper hide. It is cave that overlooks the Tennessee River. Larry Ray sits in the cave on a bluff on the east side of the Tennessee River at the mouth of Hurricane Creek where Confederate Civil War sniper Jack Hinson was able to hide. There was a bounty on Hinson’s head until the day he died. Hinson eventually killed enough men in blue to man a fort or fill a gunboat crew, according to one of Ray’s articles.

Hinson in revenge for the murder and decapitation of his two younger sons would sit in that cave and kill union officers and some enlisted men on flatboats from inside that cave. He was likely far enough back that the blast and smoke from his blackpowder muzzle loader was not observed. He had a target grade 18 lb muzzle loader built that was said to capable out to 500 yards.
He was not an official member of any military group at the beginning of the war being neutral, but against succession in principle.
